The last time Canadian roots band The Bills were in the UK high profile music critic, Rob Adams, called them “the biggest blast of fresh air to come out of Canada since The Band.”

Drawing inspiration from European influences, rhythms of Latin America and melodies of Romani Gypsies, and renowned for their instrumental virtuosity, tight vocal arrangements and innovative interpretations of trad tunes, they have racked up a string of Canadian music awards and built up a following that extends across North America and Europe.
